Thanks to all my Twitter Friends. You Rock!

peg080707[1]After a long day with very little accomplished, I was feeling a little discouraged. It was one of those days when everything went wrong. From stubbed toes, to a broken credit card, to two rowdy boys, I could do no right.  Then, thanks to a sweet tweet on Twitter.com I am feeling a little better.

Remember kind words do lift a writer’s spirit.

My Favorites:

I love the children's movies Wizard of Oz and the Neverending Story. Both movies make me feel the lesson that hope is alive and well. After seeing UP this past week, it just might have a chance at being added to this list.

I love the cool colors of blues and purples.Those colors are peaceful for me.

I love The Velveteen Rabbit. Even as an adult, I still feel the urge to cry when he becomes real. I know, silly, but a good book can make me laugh and cry as it takes me on a magical journey.
